Every five seconds, a player "looks at" the stuff right around them, to keep it loaded in RAM for live timer tracking. This keeps the milkweed around them cycling (for example), even though nothing is being reloaded from the map.
So decaying items in containers is handled somewhere else?
A funny side-effect of this:
If you light a fire and walk far away for 20 minutes, and no one else is around, when you come back, there will be hot coals there, and not ashes.
In other words: A tree falling in the woods does not make any sound unless there is someone there to hear it.

Thank you!
And now I feel bad because I unknowingly hindered the efforts of compost makers and shepherds
Sorry about that guys. I will make pies in a more responsible manner...
It's ok, as long as you learn. At least you were making pies,, which reduces greatly load on shepherd (those damn berry farms, sigh, I wish they weren't so grief proof). Pure mutton pies are the best ones - just add water to what's left after making compost.

Sometimes it's the only source of information, e.g. snake/boar behind tree. And consequences of not paying attention to it are pretty deadly.

guys I don't know anything about being a shepard or making compost is there a guide of some kind

If you don't take the whole prescripted dose, you still can. So please listen to your doctor.

Found that lookAtMapRegion, which is run for every player every 5 seconds (to update decay timers that are visible to them) was using 95% of cpu.
[...]
You would think the database lookups would be the problem here, but actually, profiling shows that it's checking for object decays along the map that's the problem.
That's the final proofs we needed to come to conclusion that introducing decay was really bad idea. Could you reverse it? That would make your life simpler and all players pre-apocalypse level happy 
On a serious note, while you're at it: did you manage to make MOVE <1ms? Any more problems lurking past 200 players/server?

They have a "subtitles" option that gives a visual cue for those who can't/don't want to have their audio on. Its simply a small pop-up in the bottom right corner that'll list audio cues as they happen, and a small arrow pointing the general direction it's coming from.

The joke was that it was hopefully more than one assload (one dung) or you were a shitty Shepard.
I thought the goal of this job was to be as shitty as possible.

They aren't lying, going into a shark does cause rapid weight loss BECAUSE THEY FRICKIN EAT YOU!
Only a bit.
Breaking news: Medicaid is considering this as a default treatment for obese patients. It has been proven to be more cost effective than bariatric surgery.
#141 Re: Main Forum » No more URLs in subject lines » 2018-07-19 17:42:11
No more shark tank weight loss? Sad. They weren't even lying.
An independent test has confirmed a groundbreaking 2018 study that entering shark tank causes rapid weight loss.

Some people are under the impression that adult sheep also poop... i swear...
They do if you feed them unshorn. It's just in every possible way inferior to feeding lamb.

Wow, that must ave been a fascinating world before the Apocalypse! I hope we'll get there again. Decay is a good thing though, if things lasts forever it's easy to get to the point where the game is too easy and boring.
The decay you like some much is the main reason there aren't and won't be towns like pre apocalypse.
Things that decay are necessary to lower your food requirements (clothes) and to increase productivity (backpacks, carts and baskets). With low pop count allowed now per server any town is pretty much guaranteed to die off overnight [ https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2881 ]. Then next day, even if some Eve spawns in it, everything important to revive it decayed. So towns now can only be in "doing good" state or "FUBAR" state. There is no middle ground where you can turn the tide.
When you try to e.g. make some carts, they get insta-stolen by griefer, together with few important town tools. Because there is only one or two carts in town, you can't even spot who the griefer is.
Most of the lives in town right now for me is like: take half a lifetime to make/get backpack, take half a lifetime to get set of clothes, take half a lifetime to steal all shears then feed enough sheep to make enough compost to plant enough milkweed to make one or two carts. That's like 1.5 lives to make a cart or two.

The forums are crazy.
1) Mothers who keep all their children should be stabbed
2) Mothers who abandon their children should get bearsMake up your minds! Which is it?
Mothers who keep all their children or not should get beared then stabbed.

How long you need to stare at somebody to get the spelling of AALIYAHROSE LEHOUILLIER II, GETHSEMANE GOICOECHEA IV or OGHENERUONA ALBUQUERQUE III right?
Those all are allowed names, sometimes used in the games, like OGHENERUONA/OGHENERUNO here:

I've already run into person that deserved curse, but had complicated first and last name - they do not necessarily cooperate by standing still. Warning village about them is an issue too.

IMO there should be autocomplete. How long you need to stare at somebody to get the spelling of AALIYAHROSE LEHOUILLIER II, GETHSEMANE GOICOECHEA IV or OGHENERUONA ALBUQUERQUE III right?
I kid you not, that are allowed names. Bonus points if you can curse them while they're chasing you with the knife.
